  *She plunged her blade into his chest, feeling it grind along his ribs...* 
  Outcast swordfighter, Kyer Halidan, was abandoned in a cornfield at age three. Now, twenty years on, she’s searching for answers: Who left her there? And why? 
  Kyer doesn’t suffer fools, and when she kills a man in a duel, it changes her life forever. 
  The duel catches the eye of Valrayker, a legendary hero, who pulls her into his company for a high-stakes mission to save a village. While on the mission, Kyer is stalked and captured by powerful allies of the man she killed, who are determined to learn what she knows—and will stop at nothing to find out. 
  She’s rescued by an inexplicable magic that raises suspicions among her friends—and fuels her enemies’ wrath even further. And worse—their fear. 
  As trust crumbles around her and danger closes in, Kyer must defy orders and challenge the very people she swore to follow. 
  As for her true identity, Valrayker harbours his own suspicions. But he’s keeping those secrets to himself… for now. 
  Gatekeeper’s Key is an adventure riddled with danger, intrigue, mysterious magic, scheming villains, humour, sword-wielding badassery, and dark consequences. 
  "Gatekeeper's Key is a dark and luscious truffle everyone will want to savor and beg for more when it's done."

  "Awesome!!! If you’re looking for a compelling fantasy book that feels familiar in terms of genre while still keeping you intrigued and on your toes, look no further. Interesting, quippy, and emotional, this book scratches that fantasy itch perfectly. Do yourself a favor and listen to the audio version. The performance from the narrator (who is also the author) made this experience so special. Dialogue was so engaging, character voice and choices were strong, it was a great time!" ~Billie Wendall Apple books

  Summer has arrived in Wildwood Heath, and with it comes the town's annual carnival and its accompanying flower contest. Robin is confident that her mother's roses will once again take the top prize and is content to spend her free time reconnecting with her father after the years they've spent apart, but a distraction arrives in the form of a customer being poisoned to death at the local coffee shop. 
  Unfortunately for Robin, the poisoning happens right in front of her and her dad… and her cousin, Rowan, whose job at the coffee shop soon lands her at the top of the suspect list. 
  To complicate matters, the head of the investigation is none other than Robin's brother, Ramsey, who little expects his first interaction with his unwillingly estranged father in years to involve a murder investigation. The awkward family reunion will have to wait, however, because it isn't long before a link emerges between the murder and the upcoming flower contest… and it becomes clear to Robin that someone might be willing to do anything to win. 
  Robin already has her hands full juggling family members starting inconveniently timed duels and scheming witches vying for the top prize at the flower contest, but with her cousin's freedom hanging in the balance, she’ll have to turn her attention to tracking a murderer. 
  Can Robin help get Rowan off the hook and find the real killer before the carnival season comes to a messy end?

  A rural Welsh community is beset by a series of cruel murders... 
   
  Putting his wedding plans on hold, Detective Winter Meadows resolves to unmask the serial killer on his patch.

  The key to unravelling the mystery is in the stone church, in the creaking homes, and in the slowly thawing fields.

  Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume close encounters of a spectral kind come to visit and offer us their stories through the pens of such literary masters as Alexander Pushkin, Oscar Wilde, Amelia Edwards, Washington Irving and many others can.  
   
  The excellence of their story-telling craft makes each story a journey into certain and unsettling fear.
